> Amazon had a competition for bin-picking robots, but never got anything that could replace a few hundred thousand pickers in their fulfillment centers. There's a demand for this, but still few usable products.

I was going to say “what did they end up doing with Kiva?”, but the latest marketing [1] suggests “picking is hard, so we use the robots to carry stuff from A => B on a grid”.

What’s your sense on assembly robots at the high end? (E.g., for cars).
